Product Description
Tenite cellulosic plastics are noted for their excellent balance of properties - toughness, hardness, strength, surface gloss, clarity, and a warm feel. The mechanical properties of Tenite cellulosic plastics differ with plasticizer levels. Lower plasticizer content yields a harder surface, higher heat resistance, greater rigidity, higher tensile strength, and better dimensional stability. Higher plasticizer content increases impact strength. Tenite cellulosic plastics are available in natural, clear, amber, and black. Color concentrates are available in let-down ratios from 10:1 to 40:1. Tenite Cellulose Acetate 105-25 is heat stabilized and has a plasticizer level of 25%.
